I admire the irreverent, yet respectful approach you have with your art. The surrounding walls of the amazing images are interesting and fabulous with their sudden pops of colour and unrelated shapes. Love your work because I can relate to it.
I have a piece of cloth with a Native American design imprinted on it. I plan to have a local print shop duplicate the actual size design. Then I will use your process. Thank you for the great idea. The design will look great on canvas.
Just take a wet rag and wipe the back of the canvas and it will tighten back up! I do it all the time because I move my art all the time and sometimes little rough with my process!
Thanks for this wonderful video. If you are not going to embellish further and only use the photo, would you print in RGB or CMYK, and would you cover with some kind of sealer? Thanks Nina
thank you, you have become my inspiration to make a table in the blade runner style... I just need to look for where they print A4 photos with a laser :) and after transferring the photos to the wooden table, do I need to protect it with wood varnish immediately after wiping off the paper or wait a few hours to do so? did the photos dry better? or not wait?
thank you this is a wonderful tutorial, Some questions I had - Can you use mod podge? What is the canvas material? Do you think muslin fabric could work? How did you get the image resolution so high?
This is a fabulous technique. Thank you for sharing. Not many artists will give away their secrets. Can this be done to a canvas that already has paint on it?
Quick question...I did a poster print (fed ex office laser) print 18X24 and used mod podge to adhere to canvas all was fine...started removing the paper and the transfer was looking great. Wet it looked awesome colors popping! then next day I did more paper removal and still yet I got paper hazing..I thought I had removed enough paper and clear coated it....but the transfer darkened and still yet paper hazing showing...I wonder if it can be salvaged,saved....Help Me! 🤕 Maybe the poster print paper was to thick????
Yes! Same process Add a layer of clear gesso to the board before you do your transfer to give it some more tooth to adhere to. I use liquatex clear gesso.
I see you printed this photo out in a self serve FedEx printer, I assume it was an inkjet printer?? but did you use photo transfer paper??? Or regular print paper??? Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing and for answering.
You can always tighten the canvas back up while it’s stretched by pouring hot almost boiling water over the canvas. Although I’m not sure if it would effect the photo transfer..
@paulamachado2548 Hey Paula, look into alternative photography processes. Do you have a photography background? You can find many trcks in basic film development to find ways to transfer I could explain tricks in my reply but it would be quite lengthy. I developed a handful of " recipes " that I use. Some I combine with other techniques to make transfers. This method isn't bad at all, but it's so repetitive . Take a course at a local community college, and it will open up a new perspective. Good Luck.
Huge difference between something that is hand drawn and something like this… I actually would much prefer to hang something like this on my wall then hand drawn
